The hamlet was founded in 1379. It was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War in 1631.
Literature indicates that it was the troops of Count Mansfeld who destroyed the hamlet.
Schöntaler Hölzchen or See can still be found on various maps.
Small villages and farmsteads were mercilessly plundered, burned, and people murdered during the Thirty Years' War.
Three other hamlets in the area suffered the same fate.
The residents fled to Adolzhausen, and the villages were never rebuilt. The village boundaries became part of Adolzhausen.
This is the reason why Adolzhausen has a large municipal area.

The description of the Mergentheim district office from 1880 states, among other things, the following about Adolzhausen:

1. The property of the hamlet of Schöntal was already owned by Adolzhausen citizens in 1558.

2. Outside the village, within the boundaries of Adolzhausen, there are still many good springs.
They are mostly located in the meadows, including a main spring in the valley and a still-walled spring with wonderful water in the deserted hamlet of Schöntal.

During excavations of the lake in the 1970s, the foundations of the site were discovered.
